Job Duties:

Our confinement season starts in November and by May the cattle are back in pasture and no intensive care and manual feeding is needed after that time. In November, we start with maintenance on pens and calving pastures to prepare for the confinement time frame where cows are pulled from pastures.(Waters, feed bunks repairs) and start pulling pairs off of grass. In December, we continue pulling cow pairs off grass and start weaning the calves. At this time all the calves must be processed and given multiple vaccinations and treated for any problems or illnesses they may have. As soon as the first pair is pulled off grass we must start daily feeding once all pairs are in pens this will take up to 6 hours per day to complete. In January, if any of Dec work isn't finished it will carry over into January. Besides the feeding that occurs daily for 6 hours, we also start working the cows in January. This consists of multiple things. We put them through a sorting process where I decide if they are a young enough cow to raise another calf, have maintained enough body condition to survive the winter and raise a healthy calf. Then the cows that are not culled must be run through including being vaccinated and checked to make sure they are pregnant. In February, any January work not completed is finished. Any replacement cows are purchased and added to the herd going through the process of vaccinations tagging, branding, etc. We also start sorting up cows to go to their respective calving pastures. We start preparing for calving. Some cows will start dropping calves the last week of February. We still need to feed the cows which will continue taking 5 hours a day. March calving is in full swing. It is common to have up to 20 calves in 24 hours. We check all the cows every 2 hours via pickup driving through to make sure there are not any cows having birthing difficulties. If so, that cow must be brought into the barn to assist her with having the calf. Daily feeding will continue. In April, we bring in pairs to sort into smaller bunches to go to summer pastures. All pairs must be processed and inspected for sickness, or problems and treated. Cow pairs are then bunched and hauled to pastures. Continued daily feeding until hauled to grass. This can take up to 3 weeks. By the end of April all cows are out to grass, the labor pressure is off and I do not need further assistance with the cows until November when we prepare for the next calving season. No manual feeding is done while in pastures since they are eating the natural grass growing. Help is not needed from mid May thru October due to all cows out on summer grazing. Employer may provide pay increases for performance and experience at employer’s discretion. Must speak and understand English.
